Quincy Jones' custom -made Bel Air Estate reaches the market for $ 60 million

Quincy Jones was not just a legendary music producer – he was a master of ambience, creativity and comfort. Now the tailor-made Bel Air Estate, which he referred to at home for two decades, meets the market for a stunning $ 59.995 million. And just like his music, the house is a gene -definent work of art. Quincy Jones, a 28-time Grammy winner who deserves a fortune of $ 500 million for his work to Michael Jackson's “Thriller” (under many other projects), poured the same attention to detail in this property in his music.

Jones, who died on April 21, 2024 at the age of 91, commissioned the property in the early 2000s after falling in love with the architecture of the famous Palace of the Lost City Hotel in South Africa. The late architect Gerald “Jerry” Allison designed by his friend and classmate of the high school, merge the approximately 25,000 square meter property African design influences with an elegant contemporary life. The result is a unique, musical-friendly withdrawal, which is located on 2.3 hectares in the heart of Bel Air.

“My father loved his home so much“Daughter Rashida Jones said in a statement by Wall Street Journal, who first reported the sale.”He created it from scratch with his limitless imagination. “

Built for a legend

Jones was deeply involved in the design process and reportedly met architectural and layout decisions that reflected his wish to keep work and personal life separately. In his previous house, awards and paperwork fill every room – even the kitchen. This time he insisted on committed creative rooms: a studio that is big enough for a band, but intimate enough for late night solo sessions on his electric keyboard.

The west wing of the estate was designed as a professional appendix with its own reception area, gallery room and demonstration room. It made it possible Jones to welcome employees and at the same time keep his private life undisturbed in the main apartment.

The price of $ 60 million not only reflects the size and family tree of the estate, but also the ultra-serving location. In a quarter in which the middle house is sold for just over $ 5 million, it is practically unknown to find 2.3 flat hectares with panoramic processes. Only a handful of properties in BEL Air command this type of scale and setting.
